It contravenes the appliance manufacturers instructions to use the oven without it being secured in a cabinet.
Appliance testing is chargeable as additional work to preparing an EICR, yes add a note to the EICR if you see an obviously dangerous fixed appliance, but there is nothing obviously dangerous about this appliance wiring.
State appliances have not been inspected and tested on the EICR.
I've seen one like that recently - from memory it was a Bosch one - and likewise it raised an eyebrow with me. My conclusion was that it was an appliance matter rather than a BS 7671 and anyway I had no information about the wires themselves - they could well be part of ELV control circuits rather than mains (the oven came with a demand for A-type RCDs so suggesting some electronics in there) and the (reputable) manufacturer probably knew what they were doing.
I may be seeing several every week, it's how they are made.
Is the guy checking the washing machine to ensure the blanking caps have been fitted after the transit bolts were removed to ensure the IP rating of the washing machine case has not been compromised? If actually instructed to inspect the appliances how would he approach it? Would he condemn the oven if a landlord asked him to PAT all the appliance supplied for a tenant to use? What appliances are being checked and why?
He will dig a big hole for himself and if not careful, fall into it. He needs to sort out what he is doing and why, then steer away from things that he has not been instructed to do and is unfamiliar with.
